Most likely you are not properly detecting EOF from Squid, causing your
helpers to not exit properly when they should.

Squid sometimes (-k rotate, -k reconfigure, and a few other, all mentioned
in cache.log) restarts the helpers. Whenever Squid restarts helpers it
simply closes the input to the current helpers and starts new ones.

A similar thing happens when Squid is restarted. The input to the helpers
is then closed as the old Squid process goes away, and the new Squid
process starts new helpers. This too is mentioned in cache.log.
